FAQs

  • Can I check only a cell or row in a table?

    For best results, select the entire table.

  • Can I check a whole page in the pages panel?

    No. When you select a page, individual objects don't get selected.

  • Can I use Acrolinx to check multiple pages?

    This depends on the design of your file. If a layer extends across several pages, you can check the pages in that layer.

Caution

When you use check selection, the results won't show up in Acrolinx Reporting. This means you won't find be able to track these checks in the Checking Activity dashboard and you won't see related check results in the Scorecard Archive dashboard.
